The Edmonton Oilers’ have never had a mascot……until now

Meet “Hunter”. This CREEPY / nightmare inducing, Canadian Lynx was introduced on Twitter and met with some mixed reactions.

Deadspin wrote the following hilarious review about the Oilers’ new mascot:
“One of the main criteria was to select a mascot that was approachable and huggable. Over 2,200 students from kindergarten through Grade 9 were surveyed to identify the most popular of the mascot candidates produced and Hunter, the Canadian Lynx, was “far and away the most popular” according to Harrop. The other day they took the newly created Hunter to one of the schools used to test market the mascot to show them the result of their input.”
